Putting wet laundry on a radiator to dry, placing basins of water around the house, or opening the bathroom door wider after taking a shower – none of these methods can humidify the air in an apartment the way a special humidifier does.
If this is a new device for you, you may find yourself in a difficult situation when you visit a home improvement store to find the right humidifier.
The advice in this article will help you avoid making a mistake: in it we have collected recommendations from experts on choosing a humidifier.
So, first of all, you need to stock up on information about the area of the room you are going to treat and compare it with the volume of the humidifier tank.
For example, if the task is to humidify the air in a room up to 15 square meters, a 5-liter tank will be enough for you, up to 40 square meters - 7 liters, etc.
In addition, it would be a good idea to evaluate the noise level of the device. This parameter is related to the engine and fan. If silence is your top priority, look for ultrasonic models that produce minimal noise and still have decent performance.
Other important indicators include power and energy consumption, operating time and control type.
Finally, consider whether you need additional options such as filters that clean the air from microbes and dust, ionization mode lighting, and so on.
